The Spotlight on The Ridges Resort on Lake Chatuge

Lakeside Relaxation Meets Concert Night Fun

Modern comfort with a rustic twist, The Ridges Resort on Lake Chatuge offers a peaceful, scenic retreat on the shores of Lake Chatuge. Located just 3 miles from the Georgia Mountain Fairgrounds and Chatuge Shores Golf Course, this full-service resort blends outdoor adventure with cozy lakeside vibes. With two on-site restaurants, a saltwater pool, and even a Topgolf Swing Suite, it’s the ideal spot to unwind before and after a night of live music.

Each room includes a cable TV, mini-fridge, and coffee maker, with some offering balconies and stunning lake or resort views. Seasonal thrills like boat rentals and a floating water park keep the energy up when the music’s not playing.

Check-in is at 4:00 PM and check-out is at 11:00 AM—great for sleeping in a little after a late night out.

Why Concert-goers love it

Concert fans appreciate the close proximity to Georgia Mountain Fairgrounds—just a short 3-mile drive. After the show, head back to a quiet, comfortable room with views of the lake. The peaceful setting means minimal street noise, and with on-site bars and casual lounges, there’s no need to rush out for post-concert drinks. Ample parking and easy highway access make late-night rideshare pickups a breeze.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends looking for a fun-filled weekend on the lake
  • Solo travelers catching a favorite artist and enjoying some nature
  • Couples planning a romantic concert getaway
  • Fans wanting a quieter post-concert recovery space away from city buzz
  • Budget-conscious music fans who want value with a view

Food and Drink Options

The Ridges Resort delivers with two tasty on-site spots:
  • Marina Station – a southern gastropub with casual eats, lakeside drinks, and a great post-show atmosphere
  • The Oaks Lakeside Kitchen – farm-to-table dining featuring ingredients from local farms
While there’s no 24/7 room service, the restaurants do offer evening hours, and breakfast is available for those who need a slow start the next morning.

Nightlife Options

While it’s more laid-back than city hotels, there’s still fun to be had:
  • Live music at Marina Station on select nights adds to the vibe
  • Nearby Hiawassee bars and lounges offer local flavor just a short drive away
  • Topgolf Swing Suite at the resort brings a fun, interactive twist to your evening

What People Say

Guests rave about the beautiful lake views and friendly, attentive staff. Many note the resort’s clean rooms and peaceful surroundings as highlights, especially after a night of music and crowds. Others love the on-site dining and scenic walking areas.

Areas for Improvement

While the resort is charming, it’s not ideal for travelers seeking a high-energy party scene—it’s more on the tranquil side. Some guests mention limited late-night food availability, so you might want to grab a snack before heading in for the night.

The Bottom Line

For concert-goers craving lakeside views, fresh air, and a relaxing atmosphere just minutes from live music venues, The Ridges Resort on Lake Chatuge hits all the right notes.

Very poor

Disliked: The floors in the room were filthy. Arrived on Sunday .Asked the staff if they could mop the floor. Finally Wednesday they did. The door on the bathroom fell off the rails continously. No towel racks to hang towels. Swimming pool area had trash all around the pool.

My wife was booked for...

Liked: Did not eat breakfast during this stay. Part of a Maghong Tournament nearby that provided a light breakfast.
Disliked: We / my wife have stayed at the Ridgers 3-4 times over the last 3 years.We like the location ... the Restarant nearby for casual eating.The only downside is the hight resort Fee.... that adds another $35-$40 to our stay. Others hotels do not charge a resort fee. ...please consider lowering this for future travelers.
